Instead, they seek to maintain, and fortify, the community they cherish on their \"side of the woods.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this place, Alice falls in love with Raymond Campbell, whose clandestine organizing activities challenge New Jessup's longstanding status quo and could lead to the young couple's expulsion--or worse--from the home they both hold dear. But Raymond continues to push alternatives for enhancing New Jessup's political power. So Alice must find a way to balance her undying support for his underground work with her desire to protect New Jessup from the rising pressure of upheaval from inside, and outside, their side of town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis novel is both a celebration of Black joy and a timely examination of the opposing viewpoints that attended desegregation in America.
